About us

Hopeful Hearts For Teens is a not-for-profit coalition. We are sponsored by Mission Earth, a 501(c)3 organization that grants us a tax-exempt status. Founded in January 2024, Hopeful Hearts For Teens is completely teen-owned and teen-run, with 100% of it's profits going towards mental health services and spreading awareness. With a teen-for-teen organization, we hope to decrease the stigma around asking for help that many young people are faced with and abolish any embarrassment around being treated for mental health.

Each of us has a different story- a different experience with mental health. The one thing we have in common is our knowledge of the countless teens who suffer from mental illnesses. We needed a way to help, but simply reaching out to friends and family sometimes isn’t enough. We realized that some people know they need help but don’t know how to get it or think the costs are too great. On a random day, our team cam together as we decided to make a difference. Soon, this idea evolved into a plan, and after countless hours of work, we became an established project.

Our Vision

We see a world where every teenager feels empowered to prioritize their mental health without financial limitations. Our goal is to normalize conversations about mental wellness and ensure that support and resources are readily available to all youth, regardless of their background or circumstances. Through Hopeful Hearts for Teens, we aim to create a community where seeking help for mental health issues is seen as a courageous step towards healing. We strive to foster resilience, empathy, and understanding. Together, we believe that by advocating for mental health awareness, providing education, and financial aid, we can work towards a future where youth in our community can access mental healthcare.
